On November 20, we had our 9th Tokyo D3 Race.

This is a brief report of the Can-Am and F-1 races:

This is our first experience to use wonder rubber tires.
The Can-Am top 3 qualifiers broke the track record.
This time we used Alpha 523 WRM's.
Tebu survived B-main and won A-main with the track record of total laps.

Most of us used natural rubbers for F-1 this time.
Tebu & I had car troubles, while Ryu survived the very close race.

Alll of us had a great fun.

More photos and report is coming soon.

Stay tuned,

Hey Haruki! I agree with Barney! What a great thing that would be, if possible. It would be Sushi for every-one. Looking forward to seeing you again. Gus in Sacto

Hi Barney and Gus,

Long way to achieve over 320 laps.

But we have leaned a lot about retro racing.

Stay tuned for our progress.

Good D3 Racing,
